NEXT THING YOU KNOW, IT'S PAULA ZAHN DELIVERING THE NEWS IN A BIKINI AND LEI: Since CableNewser is taking the day off, I must fill the void. Yes, MSNBC has issued its much-awaited summer dress-up Fridays memo, and the memo has made its way to the fine folks over at Gawker, who've put it up here. My favorites?

The notation next to "Disco Day" of "no hotpants please." No mention of whether sparkly leisure suits with overly broad lapels are OK.

"Twin Day," wherein you "pick a partner and dress alike."

But what I really wanted to see was Chris Matthews on "Crazy Hat Day." Because, you know, he doesn't bring quite enough crazy as it is. Sadly, the memo explicitly notes that "on-air talent are exempt from participating." But, "there is always a chance that viewers may catch a glimpse of you in the background." Is it a ratings stunt? We can never be sure.
